kinda the same but my parents were progressives that didn't like guns. had no TV until middle school tho and we grew huge gardens and fished quite a bit.
keeping kids away from TV and internet video and socials seems like a good idea. reading is a useful skill for kids. when it's too dark outside to be doing active things in the world.
My family had friends from church who we ultraliberals. The parents were both teachers at an "alternative school" (open air child prison for niggers in rural PA at the nearest town from our hamlet where we could ride bikes to the AMish farms), they homeschooled their 4 children, and they built their own house with ecological features such as building it into the side of a hill with a south by southeast exposure, picture windows across the entire exposed face, a full length mudroom with more picture windows to capture the heat of the sun all day, a huge wood burning stove in the open floor plan ground floor which was lengthwise built into the hillside to increase the window exposure, brick floor for insulation. They didn't have cable and only got a few channels but had a VCR and LaserDisc player, but to be allowed to watch TV they had to read a minute for every minute of TV they watched. When they got an SNES this was the same policy.
